    Easy boyo that was banter see lol ? You heard that saying Les don’t dish it out if you can’t take it ???????
  2. Johnsond
    Looks good. I’ve a load of spalted boards stacked up and was thinking of doing something similar for a gun cleaning/fettling bench, possibly with a fixed rest/support incorporated. If I get it done I’ll put a pic up and stand by for Les to get ripped into it. Been in that situation with the mrs numerous time’s, bit like hanging pictures ie up a bit down a bit up a bit down a bit ?????

    Ffs Les you and that headboard ?‍♂️?‍♂️ you had a bad experience on something similar like.

    Local farmer up here in Fyvie has been distributing 25KG bags free to homes in the surrounding area to his farm. Seems as has been said this situation brings out the best in many and worst in a few.

    That planer thicknesser looks like a proper bit of kit. I missed out on a cracking Sedgwick 12 x 8 with twin single phase motors recently, I’d spunked too much money on a new shotgun just at that time so had to watch my mate snaffle it. Schubert Pad/Stroke Sander/Linisher | in Burford, Oxfordshire | Gumtree WWW.GUMTREE.COM Schubert Pad/Stroke Sander/Linisher. Length of bed 7’ - sanding width 3’ approx... Was looking at that earlier, I need to get 3 phase or a good generator at some point as some of this old machinery is just way better than what’s out there now.

    Cheers Les much appreciated ?

    Was just wondering Les as I have already milled and stored a quantity of 6x6 and 8x8 for a TF build that’s probably not gonna happen for the foreseeable future. Truth is the income off selling them would be welcome at the moment. What’s the rough current cost of Douglas fir per cubic ft ??
  8. Johnsond
    How do you price or quote for bigger or bespoke milled stuff Les ?? Ie 6x6 or 8x8 DF beams.

    Send them my way Andy ?

    Not at the time Les I was just in and getting sorted for tea with the resident headboard designer here. Over the years I’ve found it best when religion and links to Christ are quoted to try and swerve those types. ✝️

    ?‍♂️?

    ?‍♂️?‍♂️I’m still waiting to hear or see how I offended the gods of headboard design. Well I thought it was ok for an afternoons work using a pile of offcuts. Obviously the masters of Woodwork and taste might not it seem approve.

    Cheers for the compliment although being a cheeky twat is easy in reality. it’s good for the kids to muck in and take an interest for sure when they are young. Mind you the distractions of life soon made working with dad a chore as they got older, at least that’s what happened with the 3 elder lads youngest is still at home so I try and get him out as much as poss. Shooting is the thing we tend to do together. Anyway I passed the comment on ref the headboard to the mrs and got the typical Scottish/Aberdonian response I know so well. ??‍♂️
  15. Johnsond
    I know you are a self proclaimed master craftsmen and obviously now the guru of headboards ( not sure if that’s because you have seen a few close up but each to there own ) but regarding Payment in kind after 6 kids I reckon I’ve got that side of things covered ?. Total mouse in the house that’s me Les happy wife happy life ??
  16. Johnsond
    I shall pass you onto the mrs, my intentions was some live edge type stuff but it’s sometimes best to defer. Did I somehow break the approved bed headboard construction etiquette !!! ?‍♂️?‍♂️
  17. Johnsond
    Hi All Pretty much ground to a standstill work wise so the mrs has been hitting me with painting and wallpapering tasks indoors ??. Trying to justify being outside and messing about with timber so knocked up a single bed from leftovers of a log store build and some ash planks, not high end furniture for sure but sturdy and should do the trick. Most importantly it kept me outside and busy for a day.
  18. Johnsond
    Hi All Few pics of a mates handy work. The guys got a cracking workshop with cnc milling/lathe/plasma cutter and tig or mig set up for stainless and Ali etc. Anyone looking for anything bespoke lathed up or cut welded etc etc PM me and I’ll pass on his details. He’s based up in Inverness, proper old school cup of tea and a chat type of set up.

    There then myself Diving on the ponds that became the Sony building foundations.

    Well at the very least it gives J the chance to get the Lederhosen on I guess. Not sure if you know but J is half German, it’s been a while since he mentioned it so if you have been away making a brew you may have missed it.

    Covid-19

    Johnsond replied to Ratman's topic in The Lounge

    The cure and resultant situation may well turn out to be more painful than the virus itself, loss of jobs and income and the more than likely increase in mortgage defaults and devastation to many families etc. Taxation hikes for the masses will no doubt be applauded to support the NHS, regardless of its efficiency and management history. Currently I’m in that self employed loop hole that does not qualify for any assistance, we are living off last years tax money that was set aside, that in itself disqualified me from any form of financial assistance mind you not that I’ve even asked as my own opinion is if you can manage then you should do so and leave the assistance for those whom need it.

    To not succumb to the rampant consumerism as I’ve done in the past, and to buy British products where possible at the same time avoiding Chinese tat.
  23. Johnsond
    From here on in I will be making a concerted effort to avoid buying anything from China inc shite like this. Hopefully the government will pull the plug on the 5G assistance deal from China too. About time we learnt how to value, service and look after good kit rather than the throw away mentality we all succumb too.

    I’m afraid you are spot on Andy https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/news/local/stork-sacks-north-sea-workers-due-to-covid-19-operational-drop-off1/ Feel for all these lads,

    The wanker contracts manager that has disappeared whom was our contact with the agency that has helped shit on me and my workmates. Be bloody great to dish out some old school retribution.
